I like bullies and think they do an important service in most cases... seriously people in the 1st world countries who run this planet have become soft, self-entitled, petty little pricks who for the most part have lost all meaningful touch with reality... adversity is a good thing as it either makes someone stronger or breaks them... and if they break than they deserve what comes with that...

all this "everyone is equal and special" coddling bullshit is sickening

So sayeth a person who was probably raised in well - fed, well - clothed, tolerant America, or some other first - world country. Why don't you drag your idiot ass to Africa, if you're so sick of coddling? We'll see how long you last.

What a compassionate view. C'mon, sh*thead, do you really mean to support intimidation and violence over learning how to get along? That someone is bullied to the breaking point may or may not show they are in some ways weaker than someone else, but it surely shows the bully to be an a**hole. The right to not be bullied isn't coddling, it's civilization.

The misery of having someone's foot on your neck does not teach any positive lessons. It usually teaches the victim to hate and plot revenge.

A bully is using a short cut to finding a place through honest competition, so your argument is invalid and absurd. The use of force in this manner also ignores the cultural specialization that makes us cooperative, inter-dependent and better at some things than others. This makes us equal, but not assembly-line uniform, and allows the race to survive in style.

If everyone is special, then no one is special. This is closer to the truth than some egos are prepared to admit. Everyone does however, have their moments in the sun. These shoud be celebrated without being obscured by pop-psychology, political correctness, OR some egomaniacal need for one-upmanship.

I'm betting that all this is lost on Liquidacid23 though. He strikes me as the kind of jerk that would steal the smile of victory off a Down's Syndrome kid through derision and mockery.

@freako: I'm getting the impression that he'd celebrate a Columbine-type incident for "making them stronger". Before he got banned, this guy liked to brag about the time he supposedly spent in the armed forces.
